    Super Mario Galaxy is the best 3D platformer around

    Mario platformers have always maintained a good standard and this is not just one of the best games in the series it is one of the best games ever made.

    The story is Mario is invited to Peachs Castle but as he is about to get there Bowser shows up and lifts Peachs Castle into the sky while Mario is there and he is hit by a magikoopa. He wakes up to find that Bowser has taken Peach to the center of the Galaxy and the only way to get there is by collecting stars.

    Super Mario Galaxys gameplay is amazing it controls really well and you go around certain planets upside down and some are small and some are huge but you have to use star launch pads to get to the next part of the level mostly. It has so many amazing moments that you can basically go anywhere in this game. Now onto the power ups Mario can fly like a Bee with the Bumblebee Suit and turn invisible with the Boo Suit and Ice Mario can walk on fire only for a period of time and the fireflower returns and you shake the Wii mote to fire fireballs. There is a Rainbow star which also turns him invincible for a short amount of time and these are key to getting certain stars.

    The basic controls are Mario can do a spin attack to send certain enmies spinning or deflect attacks it is with a simple shake of the Wii mote and there is a blue cursor which picks up star bits which access other levels and star tasks. You jump by pressing the A button. Mario has to do certain tasks like get to the end in a time limit,not take damage and beating certain bosses or winning races. He gets blown in a bubble which is where the Wii mote comes into play and he also rides a huge ball which is quiet difficult at first and a manta ray as well andthey are fun to do. Its is just fun.

    The music is top quality and sounds amazing to listen some well nice orcatrested music. The graphics are probably the best on the console it looks so colourful.

    So my overall opinions is if you own a Wii and want a good experience then get this. It is the best game on the Wii without a doubt.

      Mario in the sky with diamonds 0

        For the longest time, it seemed like something was amiss from Mario games. I would argue that it has been at least a decade since this “it factor” vanished. The product of this missing “it factor” was soulless gimmick titles like Luigi’s Mansion and Mario Sunshine. For awhile it seemed like Nintendo acknowledged this too, with shameless reaches at nostalgia like New Super Mario Bros and Yoshi’s 2. These were titles struggling to recreate the magic of better games by imitating them, step by s...

      The Wii has its "killer app" 0

      To be blunt, Super Mario Galaxy is a great game. Obviously the best the Wii has seen in this year it has been out. This is basically the game that nearly every Wii owner bought their Wii for. This is the game that hardcore gamers have been begging for. Although it is a fantastic game for longtime Nintendo fans, new and non-gamers will love it as well. For example, my six year old sister saw me playing this and asked if she could start a file. Nintendo has nailed it. The story, as in every other...
